Our Verdict

Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS800

XGIMI AURA 2

The XGIMI AURA 2 is better than the Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS800, although the Epson is significantly brighter than the already bright XGIMI. However, the XGIMI has better contrast, is more accurate out-of-the-box, and has a wider color gamut. It also supports Dolby Vision and is IMAX Enhanced certified, while the Epson is limited to HDR10.
